"Selenium Cells: The Construction, Care and Use of Selenium Cells with Special Reference to the Fritts Cell" by Thos. W. Benson is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The book serves as a comprehensive guide to the understanding and practical application of selenium cells, which are semiconductor devices responsive to light. It aims to fill a gap in the existing knowledge regarding the construction, testing, maturing, and applications of these devices, particularly focusing on the Fritts cell design. The content of the book is structured into detailed chapters that cover various aspects of selenium cells. It begins with an introduction to the element selenium, explaining its properties and classification. The author then describes different types of selenium cells and their characteristics, particularly emphasizing the Fritts cell’s construction and advantages. Subsequent chapters delve into testing methodologies, maturing processes, and practical applications of selenium cells, such as in photometry, voice transmission, light control, and more. The book ultimately highlights the potential of selenium cells for generating electricity from light, urging further experimentation and advancements in the field.
